Experiment No.: 02
Experiment Name: Study the methods of representation and simplification
of logic equations by Boolean algebra
OBJECTIVE:
To study the methods of representation and simplification of logic equations by Boolean
algebra.

REQUIRED ICs:
1) 2 input OR gate (7432)
2) NOT gate (7404)
3) 2 input AND gate (7408)
4) 2 input NAND gate (7400)

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
For all ICs in this experiment; Vcc = +5 V to pin 14, 0 (ground) to pin 7.
Make all circuit arrangements as given below and complete the truth tables. For each part of
the experiment apply the indicated voltage. Use LED to see the output change for different
input combinations.
